Thanks for the review W1zz. Ive been waiting to see this. Not a bad price for a crossfire setup. Quad Crossfire is what whets my appetite. The 8800GTX didnt get pwned that much in X3 and lets remember, this is a dual GPU whereas that one is a single gpu. the 8800 Sparred well, though I was surprised to see some of the benches besting it like the x1900xtx and x1950xtx and even the 7900GTX

Did I miss it or is there no temps posted? I just skimmed the article and didn't see any.
I really doubt it will be a mass production part, just like the dual x1600s. To little to late and I'm sure sapphire knows it. The highend DX9 market is at and end.

That is one beast of a card. Seriously, there is no point in spending more than $100 on a DX9 card at this point, IMO. Just buy something to hold you over until the whole DX10 generation is in full swing.

Oh I don't know. Seems like a good time to get a bargain performer. OK so it won't be DX10 compatible but actually I'd prefer a X1950pro to an 8500GT which are going to be about the same price in the UK

But only until R600 comes out in a short while then the 8600's and 8500's will drop BIG I would guess.

i bet it'd definitely blow away the 7950GX2 in todays games. ATI's 4:1 ratio of Pixel:vertex pipelines favors all the new games compared to nviida's 1:1 ratio. Would be interesting, but um would newer drivers really do anything? i'm sure support was dropped a long time ago since only sapphire made the card.

Since it would be incredibly hard to find either card for a decent price in the market today, it might just be easier and cheaper to compre two x1950 Pro in crossfire with two 7950GTs in SLi...

Unless of course W1zard still has both cards laying around. If thats the case I'll gladdly take them off his hands and do the follow up review for TPU. I think it would be an interesting article also, see how older cards perform with newer games.
